Setting up Antenna TV In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the ANT input. On your Roku TV, you watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile-in this case, the Antenna TV tile-from the Home screen. The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna TV channel list. Why do I have to set up the TV tuner? Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided by a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes use an HDMI® connection. More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or cable/satellite service. If you don't need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the Home screen as explained in Remove unwanted tiles. When you set up Antenna TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a good signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal. The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. Typically, you'll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setup simpler. You can hide the one you don't want as explained in Edit Antenna TV channel lineup. 36

Setting up Antenna TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also want to watch
broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the ANT input. On your
Roku TV, you watch broadcast TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment
choices. You select a tile
—
in this case, the Antenna TV tile
—
from the Home screen.
The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the TV
tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna TV channel list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided by a cable
or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes use an HDMI
®
connection.
More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or cable/satellite
service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead remove it from the
Home
screen as explained in
Remove unwanted tiles
.
When you set up Antenna TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a good
signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a very weak signal.
The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using an older
set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4. Typically,
you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make s
etup simpler. You can hide the
one you don’t want as explained in
